Marathon Flyer
Canberra Rowing Club have sustained damage to several of their boats, losing fins and having holes punched in some of their best boats.
There are still submerged logs slowly detaching and resurfacing after some time under the water. Canberra RC coaches and members have removed them each time and now have removed 5 logs from the lake (1 large enough that it spread all across lanes 5 & 6 … needed a few helpers to lift and shift).
Please keep an eye out and if you see anything please either try pick it up, shift to the closest bank or notify the NCA’s lake contractor Tony Le Mesurier of Ecoway (0416584267).
Although CRC observed logs on the course, there is also a very large log East of Kings Ave Bridge that I have tried to move, and the rope broke. I will report it to Tony on Monday
